Buy one of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-063-AK&groupid=1929&catid=153&subcat=

But sadly out of stock, what are the rest of your components like, ie gpu.

The Asus P67 boards will work with a 4 pin connector, so you should be ok to get it setup and running. I doubt this causes your original board to break.

Whether or not your PSU is good enough for your target OC I'll let someone else answer

I'm using a 4pin and whilst i'm running at stock now, i can overclock to 4.3 without issues. I didn't try and go higher as I'm using the stock intel heatsink and started having temperature issues.

I don't have a good PSU (just a cheap 550w one) but i also have a less powerful graphics card (Radeon HD 5550).
